How about using a new approach ... to getting a feel for understanding your problem: Thermodynamics and Chemical Engineering.
In Thermodynamics when you take a compressed gas - and cause this gas to expand, it can get really cold as it expands along a pathway of constant "Entropy".

You are correct. The gas composition, with 0.8% Oxygen, is not in chemical equilibrium. You're also right in that you won't find this, or similar gas mixtures, occurring naturally, without the presence of life.
Can you help me understand your next sentence better - "Gas planets are lacking a...
Yes, the vortex rotation of these galaxies you describe, is a bit strange. Have you noticed - that the best, clearest example of this type of rotation appears to be associated with the galaxies classified as ... Barred Galaxies. Go look up pictures of this type of galaxy. (They're very...
Look closer at the Phase Diagram of Water, above. Ice XII, Ice X, and Ice Xi can be
solid - above the normal boiling point of water!
You could move a planet such as Jupiter, when moved
down to the orbit of Venus - and it still have all water present as
Ice ... if the atmospheric pressure...
I have something to add:
Quote ..."In terms of astrobiology, one of the advantages of looking for Earth-like planets is that we have some idea of what life on Earth-like planets should look like and what signs we should be looking for."

Greetings RonL,
I have some good news/bad news. The Head Member of this site sent me an
e-mail - stating that this thread is to be shut down now. One of the reasons given, was
that this site only allows material coming from either textbooks on the subject being discussed, or
refereed material...
Now, we're getting somewhere! I finally found a refrigeration diagram on the Web, that I could cut-and-paste over to Physics Forums.
That's a start:
Greetings pranj5,
Are you still interested in exploring your question on running a Vortex Tube with moist air?
If so, I can probably help some...
Greeting Everyone,
My name is Bruce Zerr.
I have a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering.
I just completed (May, 2017) my second degree in B.S. Business Administration - Finance.
I love talking/explaining the Thermodynamics of the Forced Vortex - as it applies to: 1) the Vortex Tube, 2)...
